This is HUNTING THE WHISKY BANDITS, an epic tale of organised crime, multi-million pound fraud, and the victims left in its wake. Reporter Sam Poling investigates the world of cask investment to find the bandits exploiting Scotland’s most famous export - whisky.
An anonymous tip-off sends Sam inside a booming industry where organised crime has gained a foothold. She tracks down the man helping the FBI catch a wanted criminal, meets those showered in promises but left high and dry, and hears from an old friend who has a stark warning.
Can she catch any whisky bandits in the act?
